Leeds, & Solihull, United Kingdom, 22nd January 2025 – Assured Data Protection (Assured), the prominent IT managed services provider (MSP) for cloud data protection solutions, and Wavenet, a leading cyber security, communications and technology MSP, today announced a strategic partnership to provide enterprise grade backup and disaster recovery solutions to customers across the UK. Through the partnership, Wavenet will offer Rubrik's leading edge data protection platform as a managed service through Assured’s second site data replication infrastructure to bolster customers’ cyber resiliency. This partnership is part of a drive to increase Wavenet’s range of services, in line with the company’s rapid expansion through organic growth and acquisition and follows the announcement of a merger between Wavenet and Daisy Corporate Services in May, to form the UK’s largest independent IT MSP.
The partnership will strengthen Wavenet’s cyber security offer, at a time when ransomware continues to be a major threat across all sectors. Until now, Wavenet has offered disaster recovery and backup services as point solutions, on request. Partnering with Assured will allow them to take a more proactive approach, offering true immutable backup and disaster recovery and cyber resiliency solutions to public and private sector organisations, which can only be guaranteed through data replication at a second site. Wavenet anticipates increased demand for these services in vertical markets in which it already has a strong presence, such as education, retail, and oil & gas, as well as other markets.
Assured, which was founded in the UK, is the largest Rubrik MSP (managed service provider), servicing the U.S. and other international markets. It is an award-winning MSP that focuses on providing innovative data management, backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity solutions. Assured works directly with customers, MSPs and resellers to ensure that businesses can protect and recover their critical data and operations in the event of outages, natural disasters, ransomware, and cyber-attacks, which continue to be a major threat to organisations of all sizes. Customers receive a fully managed Rubrik service from design and implementation through to recovery and daily proactive support.
Assured’s managed service solutions, built on Rubrik’s Security Cloud, enable organisations to control their entire backup environment ensuring resiliency against data loss, natural disasters and cyber-attacks. Cyber Resiliency as a Service monitors backup data for cyber threat anomalies and enables fast recovery from ransomware and cyber-attacks to a clean data point to keep operations running.
Wavenet has a strong reputation for providing the highest levels of customer service to organisations including the DVLA, NHS 111 and HS2, with Trustpilot scores of 4.9. As it expands, the company is determined to maintain this strong focus, and offering best in class services, like those provided by Assured, is central to that strategy.
Mark Hall, Solutions and Strategy Director, Wavenet comments:
“In entering into this partnership, one of the things that stands out most for us is Assured’s skill set and capabilities that will allow us to offer customers a fully managed, true end to end disaster recovery and backup service on a 24/7 basis.
